Early September 2024

 

 

Greetings and Salutations!

Welcome to September which heralds the end of the Summer. Time to shake the dust off the rakes and leaf blowers as the season of never-ending mowing gives way to perpetual drifts of dead leaves.  It’s not all bad though.  It is one of the loveliest times of year in this part of the United States.  The ARPCA makes great use of this combination geography and seasonality with some awesome events below.  We’re definitely looking at you Das Herbstfahrt and the Porsche Touring Crew heading to Foxburg.

Enjoy the scenery and we’ll see you out there,

Shawn Cressler – Web Support. Sharon Lunney – Newsletter Editor.
